ABOUT DORIE
Dorie Howell, Cr. Photog.
You need great images for your business. I say this all the time. Gone are the days that you can get away with slapping a picture of you at a bar b que on your professional social media and expect that it will bring in business for you. (Unless you are a pit boss, looking to promote your new restaurant) People know the difference, even if you crop out your friends on either side.
If you are in the business of needing to attract people to you as a salesperson, brand, service provider, or entrepreneur, you can't expect that old, outdated, images are going to do what you want them to anymore. That might have been the case 10 years ago, but no longer. There is a lot riding on your professional image and if what you are using is over two years old, it is time for an upgrade.
That is where I come in.
You are busy. You NEED great images. BUT you hate taking pictures AND you hate getting ready to take pictures. And more than that, you hate pausing your day and schedule for something that you really aren't even sure is going to move the needle that much in your business.
I can tell you one thing. I used to be you. UNTIL I finally bit the bullet and started showing my face in my marketing and proposals. It was a game changer and I want that for you!
Let me make this easy for you. You need great images and I know all the things needed to create those images. I will give you easy-to-use checklists of what to bring, maps to where you need to go, and even access to the stylist and make up artist to make you look great. We will create a plan for what you need THEN have a great time putting that plan in action.
You NEED great images in your business, no matter what business you are in. And I am just the person to help you get them.
